is back for the 3rd season Featuring great music and foot stompin’ good times.

Since the first Boogie at the Barn event in the fall of 2012, this series of barn dances has become the must events to attend. Each of the four Boogie’s so far have seen over 300 people pack this venerable old barn at Alderfer Ranch for a great night of live music, community and dancing. This summer will feature three more Boogie at the Barn’s beginning with this event on Friday, May 9th. This first Boogie, just like last year, will be a “Sadie Hawkins Dance” — girl asks guys! Food for purchase will be provided by Bistro Colorado and Texorado food trucks.

The night will commence at 5:30pm with music from 'Rough Mix', a collaboration of talented local Evergreen musicians. The Joe Bye Band will headline the event playing from 7:30pm-10:00pm. Joe and his band have won the hearts of the mountain community and packs the house with his energetic and danceable tunes.

The dance will take place at the old Alderfer Ranch barn at Alderfer/Three Sisters Open Space Park. This beloved 100 year-old barn, operated by Evergreen Park & Recreation District, is only open to the public on a very limited basis. Boogie at the Barn, produced by John Erlandson & Pandora Reagan, will raise money for the barn upkeep and renovation.

Touted by many as “the best party Evergreen has had in years”, the first Boogie at the Barn in October of 2012 was a huge success with almost 400 people in attendance. Now, “Boogie” is back for 2013 as a series of three great barn dances, the first of which will take place on Saturday, May 4th.

In the tradition of the old barn dances and in celebration of spring, this first Boogie at the Barn of 2013 will be a Sadie Hawkins Dance — “gals ask guys”.

The dance will take place at the old Alderfer Ranch barn at Alderfer/Three Sisters Open Space Park. This beloved barn, which had its beginnings over 100 years ago, was opened up to the community for the first time for the original 'Boogie at the Barn' in October 2012, and will be open again for the Sadie Hawkins Boogie at the Barn on Saturday, May 4th. It will be another high-energy evening reminiscent of the foot-stompin' barn parties held by Hank and Barbie Alderfer during the ranch's heyday. Hank says, “It was incredible to see the barn brought back to life and we are thrilled that these good-time dances will continue.”

Tickets for the Sadie Hawkins Dance are $10 at the door and $8 in advance. Advance tickets are strongly recommended as tickets will be limited due to the barn's capacity. Cash or check only.

Friday, October 12 from 6pm to 11pm

For the first time in decades, the old Alderfer Ranch barn at Alderfer/Three Sisters Open Space Park will be open for the community to enjoy on Friday, Oct. 12, when its caretakers host “Boogie at the Barn," a high-energy evening reminiscent of the foot-stompin' barn parties held by Hank and Barbie Alderfer during the ranch's heyday.

New! Six original paintings of the barn from local artists at Stoneheart Gallery were created for Boogie at the Barn and will be sold at the event. These paintings can be viewed and purchased in advance as well at the gallery in downtown Evergreen. The entire proceeds from the paintings will go towards the restoration efforts.

The barn dance -- featuring music by ”˜Something Underground’ -- will offer many their first opportunity to get inside of this beloved barn. Currently used by Evergreen Park & Recreation District (EPRD) for storage, the barn had its beginnings over 100 years ago. The log portion was part of the original Hester Homestead in the 1850's. The traditional timber framed portion of the barn was built in 1900, then expanded by Hank and Barbie Alderfer in the 1970's before being sold to Jefferson County Open Space in 1985. Hank says, "The barn was the center of recreation for an agricultural kid! It's great to see that good times and laughter are returning to this beautiful place."

The "Boogie at the Barn" dance party was conceived by John Erlandson, local musician and concert producer, as a way to bring life back to the old barn and involve the community with Evergreen Park and Recreation District in a limited restoration of the historic facility. Erlandson and Pandora Reagan are caretakers of the Alderfer Ranch House, and are working in partnership with Evergreen Park & Recreation District to host this event. Proceeds will go toward limited restoration efforts for the barn and ranch. The highly touted Denver-based dance band “Something Underground” will headline the event. Instantly recognizable for its brotherly harmonies, ”˜Something Underground” is a growing musical force that is winning people’s hearts with its energetic blend of rock, reggae, folk and pop. Consisting of brothers Josh and Seth Larson on vocals, bass, guitar and keys, and Trevor Mariotti on drums, its members are as well known for their tireless support of charity organizations and community building as for their passionate stage performance and loyal fans.

”Boogie at the Barn” is sponsored by Colorado Serenity, Bergen Park Paint, John Erlandson Fine Painting and Intero Real Estate, and organizers are seeking additional sponsors.
